Hey everyone, I finally wrote an email on time! (Future me note, next time don't forget to send the email)     This week was a pretty fun one, with some pretty cool events and stuff like that, I'll sum it up.     On P-day we got to go on a quick hike, it was a pretty amazing view! Northern BC is so nice.     We've been doing tons of service for people all around the city, and it's been amazing! I love helping people out, and it's also been a pretty good way to find people who want more than just yard work haha. We've been able to meet quite a few people who are interested in making their lives better and open to learning how religion can help them do that. It's been great to see the changes.     We also got the chance to head down to Vanderhoof (pictures coming next week) which was pretty cool. It's quite different from Prince George since it's got way more fields and farms, but it's also got quite a few cool little food places. We went to a pizz...

Alrighty, guess we're still not caught up with "weekly" emails haha!     Anyways, these past couple weeks were pretty eventful, so let's jump straight into it.     In week 50 we had an amazing chance to go down to Vancouver and meet with Elder Gerritt W. Gong, one of the 12 apostles of the church! We went down on Friday and slept over at the Cambie apartments, it was pretty cool to be back in Vancouver. On Saturday we got to go back to Langley, one of my old areas and got to meet with Elder Gong and some other church leaders. They taught us a ton on how to be better missionaries, and it was an amazing experience! We also did some street contact in the area. It was so nice all the missionaries together in one place at the same time.     It was also my first time on a plane in almost a year, haha.     Another big thing that happened was that I hit a year in the Mission field! June 2nd was my “Hump Day”. It was a pretty amazing milestone, and it's ju...

So I'm a bit late, which is honestly not that surprising, but I'm officially 1 year in!     It's been an amazing experience serving the Lord and the people of BC, and the people I've met and changes I've seen in myself just go to show that the Lord has a plan for all of us!     I'm grateful for the chance I have to be a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I'm grateful for the knowledge that the Heavens are open! God lives, Jesus is the Christ and he cares about all of us!     Here's to another year!!
